This time, the Reader‘s cover story isn’t about violence in Tijuana, it’s about drugs. There are no official stats in the story, just a book and an author who assumes tons and tons of people are crossing the border to buy pentobarbital, a drug used to commit suicide.

The journalist did go to two pharmacies, so it must be a trend worth writing about, right?

Arts and web editor at San Diego CityBeat. Interested in art and the Tijuana/San Diego border.

I have to say though that I will keep on reading the reader for their only saving grace – Ed Bedford for the Tin Fork restaurant review. He had a great article on a local restaurant that specializes in Birria de Chivo – which interestingly has an outlet in TJ. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2008/aug/20/goat-guy/
